The purpose of the Display information element is to supply display information that may be displayed by the user. The information contained in this element is coded in IA5 characters.
The display information element is coded as shown in Figure 4-22.
The Display information element has a network dependent default maximum length of 34 or 82 octets. The evolution to a single maximum value of 82 octets is an objective. If a user receives a Display information element with a length exceeding the maximum length which the user can handle, the information element should be truncated by the user.
